Reborn in a virtual world, before the house was taken away

When everyone turned around, they saw that it was Qiu Yangze, the workshop director of the factory.

Upon seeing that it was Director Qiu, Lin Guiying's expression changed drastically. However, being an experienced woman, she quickly went to Wei Xiangcui's side, grabbed her arm, and whispered a warning in her ear:

"Mother-in-law, you'd better not say anything out of line. That way we can talk about everything. Otherwise, don't blame us for fighting to the death."

After saying that, he glared fiercely at Wei Xiangcui.

Wei Xiangcui wasn't afraid of her threats, but she was worried that angering them would affect her plans. Besides, since they had something to fear, everything was negotiable.

When Director Qiu finished asking his question and looked around with questioning eyes, Wei Xiangcui was as docile as a quail. When the people around her saw that she had suddenly become timid, they were disappointed that there was no more fun to watch and turned their heads away.

At this moment, Lin Guiying quickly stepped forward, walked a few steps to Director Qiu's side, and explained with a smile:

"It was my in-laws who came. There might have been some misunderstanding, but it has been cleared up now. I apologize for taking up everyone's time."

He then bowed slightly to the onlookers and concluded with:

"Everyone, please go about your business. There's nothing else to do. Thank you for your concern."

As Qiu Yangze left, he glanced at Wei Xiangcui from the He family again, but didn't say much. They usually wouldn't interfere in these kinds of family matters unless they escalated to the factory level. After all, there were countless such cases, and they couldn't possibly manage them all.

Seeing that everyone had almost left, Lin Guiying turned around and came to Wei Xiangcui's side. Wei Xiangcui was talking to her daughter at that moment.

Lin Guiying's face was beyond ugly. After today's commotion, the Zhong family had become famous in the residential compound, and her well-maintained reputation had come to an end. Just thinking about it made her so angry that her teeth itched.

She glanced at her daughter-in-law, who was also looking dejected in front of her mother, and she was furious. How come she hadn't noticed before that her daughter-in-law was so afraid of her mother and was completely under her mother's thumb?

But it's too late to say anything now.

Reluctantly, he approached Wei Xiangcui and spoke with a stern face:

"Let's go home. We can talk about it when we get back."

At this point, Wei Xiangcui stopped wasting words and acting coy, and simply turned around and walked forward. She didn't want to say another word to Lin Guiying. If things hadn't been settled before, she would have liked to throw a tantrum at her. Wanting her daughter's job? She was dreaming. With her there, let's see who dares to do it.

Lin Guiying also turned to a young man from her neighbor's house and said:

"Please go to the factory and talk to your Uncle Zhong. Tell him there's something going on at home and ask him to take leave and come back as soon as possible. Just say it was me who said it."

Seeing that the young man had run far away, she followed him home.

When she got home, Lin Guiying was even more furious to see Wei Xiangcui sitting in the living room like a lord, ordering her daughter around to serve tea and water.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Guiying's husband, Zhong Ziqiang, rushed back from the factory. He had heard Lin Guiying's message to the young man and briefly inquired about what had happened before returning.

Zhong Ziqiang, a man in his forties, is usually not talkative and doesn't really manage household affairs, but he is quite shrewd. Although he outwardly lets his wife manage things because he trusts her to do it well and he is also there to keep an eye on things, he is the one who has to make the decisions when something really important happens at home. This is the main reason why Lin Guiying called him back immediately, since work is no small matter.

Lin Guiying realized at this point that since her mother-in-law had found out about the job transfer, the matter was unlikely to end well. Given her mother-in-law's usual behavior, she might end up losing more than she gained.

She appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly uneasy. At the same time, she secretly glared at her daughter-in-law, He Yongxia, a few times, which made He Yongxia shrink back and move closer to her mother.

He Yongxia knew that no matter what the outcome was today, she was doomed in this family and would never have a good life again. Thinking of this, she felt a sense of fear.

She silently held her son in her arms, hoping to draw some strength from him.

A dozen minutes later, after a series of threats, intimidation, confrontations, and bargaining, Wei Xiangcui finally emerged from the Zhong family home with a beaming smile. Along the way, she dutifully explained the situation to the onlookers who had come to inquire about the matter:

"No, no, my mother-in-law is a wonderful person. I was just joking. I'm so sorry that you misunderstood."

"Yes, yes, it's because my daughter didn't explain it clearly, which made me misunderstand."

"I have to go back now. My mother-in-law insists that I stay for dinner, but there are so many things to do at home, I can't do without her. Please don't see me off, please don't see me off."

The distance from the Zhong family home to the entrance of the residential compound was only about two hundred meters, but it took Wei Xiangcui more than ten minutes to walk there, and she was still saying goodbye to people.

Lin Guiying, who had been watching from a distance, was so angry she almost fainted. Just as she had expected, Wei Xiangcui's smiling face and explanations for Lin Guiying were not out of kindness, but rather due to the conditions they had agreed upon beforehand.

In the end, the Zhong family is in the wrong regarding the job transfer. After all, the job was earned by the daughter-in-law herself. There's no way they would force her to transfer it to her sister-in-law after only two years of marriage. If the daughter-in-law were willing, that would be one thing, but with such a mother-in-law, they can only pay to avoid trouble.

Thinking about that money, a whole two hundred yuan, that she had just given it to that old hag, she felt a surge of resentment. But then Lin Guiying took a deep breath, afraid that she would lose control and try to get the money back.

That money was money they had saved for a long time for their youngest son and daughter, and now it's all gone down the drain.

Wei Xiangcui had no time to care about her. She was in a good mood all the way back to Lanshan Brigade around noon. She didn't think at all about how her daughter would live after she had extorted two hundred yuan from the Zhong family.

As for how she would boast about her great achievements to the He family, that's another story. In short, thanks to Wei Xiangcui's shrewd move, the He family's financial crisis has been temporarily resolved.

Leaving aside the He family's joy, Feng Qingqing continued to organize her herbs as usual. Master Wu arrived at the clinic early in the morning to continue the work that had not been finished yesterday.

In addition to continuing to dry the medicinal herbs she had prepared yesterday in the yard, Feng Qingqing also started trying to make joint ointment today.

The medicinal materials needed for the joint ointment were basically collected yesterday. In order to maintain the efficacy of the medicine, and she also noticed that Mr. Wu, who builds the stove, has relatively severe arthritis. He feels a sudden pain when walking, and sometimes he has difficulty walking.

She wanted to make the ointment as soon as possible to see how effective it would be with the water from the space well, so that she could complete her next step in the plan.
